Free Web NovelChapter 564: Chapter 341: The Hot-Selling Mind Body
As Zou Feng sent messages to the top ten on the Ascension Rankings one by one, he wondered, ’Surely the top ten can’t all be that pathetic, right?’
If even the top ten were useless, then his only option would be to challenge a Mind Body.
However, what Zou Feng hadn’t expected was that after sending out the challenges, he found that five of them had blocked messages, preventing his challenges from even being delivered.
The messages went through to the remaining five, but...
The fourth-ranked cultivator was the quickest to reply to Zou Feng’s challenge, and their response was a single, direct word: "Scram!"
The seventh-ranked cultivator also replied shortly after.
This person said they would accept the challenge, but Zou Feng had to first pay a challenge fee of two hundred thousand Immortal Fate points.
After reading the message, Zou Feng couldn’t help but reply with a single word himself: "Scram!"
As for the other three who received the message, they didn’t reply for a long time.
They were either in seclusion or simply weren’t interested and were intentionally leaving him on read.
’Damn it, a bunch of cowards. And they have the nerve to occupy the top ten spots on the Ascension Rankings?’
Zou Feng couldn’t possibly keep waiting indefinitely for those who hadn’t replied.
He was out of options. He’d have to challenge a Mind Body first.
Actually, challenging a Mind Body wasn’t cheap either.
Especially for those Cultivators who had already advanced to a higher Realm. Since they didn’t care about the paltry income and didn’t want more people challenging their former selves, they would set the challenge fee to the highest possible tier.
The base challenge fee for these once-famous prodigies was already high. If they also set it to the highest tier...
Fortunately, Zou Feng wasn’t short on money, and some expenses were simply necessary.
In other words, you couldn’t be cheap when it came to Immortal Cultivation.
After making his decision, Zou Feng was just about to leave when he found Tian Yun and the other women "fully armed" and looking at him with eyes full of anticipation.
Only then did he remember that he hadn’t submitted his "homework" for the day.
Previously, he had been lured by Liu Chenyu into spending most of his time in the Demon Suppression Tower, causing him to neglect his Cultivation of the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill.
So, Zou Feng had to put off his trip to the Battle Saint Palace and wait until his "homework" was done.
To make up for the lost progress, Zou Feng began to practice the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill with exceptional vigor.
Before he knew it, he had been cultivating until dawn the next day.
Although the entire Cultivation process was quite enjoyable, even the most fun activities can become mentally exhausting when overdone.
Moreover, with five Dao Companions taking turns waiting to cultivate with him, Zou Feng was starting to feel that he couldn’t keep up.
When his progress with the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill had been rapid, Zou Feng was naturally tireless in his efforts.
But now that his progress had slowed and he had so many Dao Companions, he was beginning to feel that the process was not only too time-consuming and draining but also inefficient.
The solution to this problem wasn’t hard to figure out: he needed to establish his Dao Foundation as soon as possible.
Once he stepped into the Dao Foundation Realm, his Divine Sense would transform. He would then be able to easily use the "Divine Communication" he’d attempted before, which would drastically improve the efficiency of their Dual Cultivation. He wouldn’t have to rely on spending so much time and trying various positions to get results.
At that point, he could also select a more advanced Dual Cultivation Skill to merge with his Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill.
The Cultivation session finally came to an end. Just as Zou Feng was about to head out for the Battle Saint Palace, he stood up, only for his legs to give way, nearly causing him to collapse to his knees.
He stood there stunned for a moment, then broke into a wry smile.
’It’s not that I’ve gotten weaker,’ he thought. ’It’s that my Dao Companions have all become stronger, making it so I can’t endure a five-way split Cultivation session as easily as I used to.’
’Oh well. I’ll just rest for a bit before heading over.’
He sat back down and took out his Token. The device had been vibrating on and off since the previous night.
He looked at the Token and saw that, to his surprise, a total of four thousand Immortal Fate points had been deposited into his account?!
Zou Feng checked the details for a moment and realized it was income generated from the challenge fees for his Mind Body in the Battle Saint Palace.
Zou Feng had chosen the challenge price tier himself, so he knew the fee to challenge his Mind Body was eight hundred Immortal Fate points per attempt.
Compared to the fee for fighting the actual Chen Ang, this price wasn’t high at all.
But for one, a Mind Body could never be more expensive than the actual person. For another, Zou Feng was hoping to generate some extra income from it, so he hadn’t wanted to set the price high to begin with.
Of course, the challenge fee had to be split evenly with the Battle Saint Palace, so he only got to keep half.
So, this sudden influx of four thousand Immortal Fate points meant that ten people had already challenged his Mind Body.
’Am I that popular?’
Still, having so many people challenge his Mind Body—his virtual Spiritual Ability Clone—felt a little strange.
’It kind of feels like selling life-sized dolls of myself on a shelf for cash back in my previous life...’
DING—
Just in that short time, another four hundred Immortal Fate points were deposited.
’It really is a bestseller,’ he thought.
Actually, on second thought, it was normal. After all, he was a "new item in stock," and a Poison Cultivator at that, which were already a rare breed.
Besides, his consecutive victories against Chen Ang and Yan Lingshuang had generated a massive amount of hype and discussion.
So, it was only natural that after his Mind Body was "freshly baked," many Cultivators, drawn by his reputation, would want to go and test his strength.
It was much more economical than challenging him in person.
Even those who did want to fight him in person would most likely have a match with his Mind Body first to see if they stood a chance against his real self.
At this thought, the fatigue Zou Feng had built up from his "battle" with the five women had mostly recovered. ’Time to go back to the Battle Saint Palace and fry some fish...’
Zou Feng quickly left the Hongxing Inn, boarded a Flying Celestial Ship, and soon stepped into the main hall of the Battle Saint Palace once again.
The moment he entered, he looked up and saw a long line forming in front of a distant portal of light.
